A member asked:

What should you do when your menstrual circle has just ended and your discharge is still pink after 5 days with an odour? is this normal for a 30-year-old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Old blood: The residual blood in the vagina is being expressed over the 5 days post period. However, a persistent odor is more indicative of a vaginal infection that needs to be evaluated by a GYN MD and possibly treated.
